Landscaping progress




We've been working hard on the last phase of our Caton House project: landscaping. I confess that I used Photoshop to put green grass on the lawn for the photo below! We've planted shrubs, ferns, annuals, & perennials. On the south side of the house we've installed a pioneer kitchen garden much like the first owners probably had with herbs, shrubs, and a few ornamentals. The bottom photo above shows our stalwart employee, Devlin, raking the sand in preparation for the brick walkway.

The top two photos are the grass seed mix being sprayed on. We hired JB Instant Lawn who charged us about $500 for 5000 sq ft. They mix the grass seed with timber pulp to help keep it in place and keep it damp for germination.

I'm getting interior photos together and will post them next.
